Cavallino, a municipality in Puglia's Lecce province, serves as a crucial point for 11 protected denominations that spring from this sun-drenched land. Its soils yield exceptional produce, particularly contributing to the renowned Terra d'Otranto DOP olive oil, which originates from a zone spanning 96 municipalities. Furthermore, the robust vines cultivated here define wines such as Salento IGT and Negroamaro di Terra d'Otranto DOC, both within a 145-municipality area.
